Today, we welcome Edward Pinto, co-director of the American Enterprise Institute’s Housing Center to discuss their paper on How Government Policy Made Housing Expensive and Scarce, and How Unleashing Market Forces Can Address It, co-authored with Tobias Peter. Together they’ve co-authored a variety of reports on housing policy, specifically on the impact of federal policy on housing demand and homeownership, housing finance risks, and first-time home buyers. Their pieces have been published in policy journals and in the press, such as the Wall Street Journal, American Banker, and Business Insider.
